Designed with Your Personal Needs in Mind

Finding the Right Therapy for You

Land Therapy Techniques Include:
You are an individual.  You have personal wants, hopes, and needs that are different – you want your physical therapist to understand those differences and provide therapy that is right for you.  The staff at Huntsville Pool and Land Therapy is committed to finding the combination of therapeutic techniques that will best meet your individual needs.  By carefully selecting techniques such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, heat, cold, biofeedback, manual therapy, and many others, your therapist can tailor your therapy program just for you.

  • Biofeedback (sEMG):  helps patient target the correct muscles to contract or relax

  • Cold:  decreases pain, swelling, and inflammation

  • Electrical stimulation:  interferential electrical stimulation; increases circulation and decreases pain

  • Functional electrical stimulation (FES):  helps muscles contract and increases muscle strength

  • Heat:  relaxes muscle spasms and increases circulation

  • Iontophoresis: medications introduced via a direct electrical current; reduces inflammation

  • Microcurrent (MENS): promotes healing and decreases pain and inflammation of tissues

  • Manual therapy:  decreases pain and muscle spasms, deactivates trigger points, increases range of motion

  • Ultrasound: mechanical sound waves; increases circulation and promoted healing

Helping You to Help Yourself
As an individual, you have a sense of independence.  You don’t want to have to rely solely on others for your health and well-being.  Instead, you want to learn how to gain control over your pain and free yourself from fatigue and stress.  Physical therapists shouldn’t just make you feel better when they are treating you; they should also teach you to combat your body’s weaknesses and capitalize on your body’s strengths.  At Huntsville Pool and Land Therapy, your therapist will teach you an independent home exercise program that will not only enhance your therapy sessions but will also prepare you for healthy, pain-free living after your therapy treatments have ended.  A wide range of therapy techniques combined just for you in order to get you back to your normal lifestyle?  That’s physical therapy with a personal touch.
